On Wednesday, our editor-in-chief got a briefing with EVGA at the company’s showroom in Taipei for Computex 2016, where a few new custom Geforce Pascal products were introduced for the first time. This week, EVGA is now unveiling the Geforce GTX 1080 Classified, the Geforce GTX 1080 Hybrid and the Geforce GTX 1080 SC to show that they are actual products and not just fast-looking designs printed on paper.

Last week we wrote about EVGA’s entire lineup of GTX 1080 graphics cards – the EVGA-branded GTX 1080, the GTX 1080 Founders Edition, the GTX 1080 ACX 3.0, the GTX 1080 SC ACX 3.0, the GTX 1080 FTW ACX 3.0 and the GTX 1080 Classified. Now, the company is ready to show off at least one more product in the series before these cards are sent off into retail store chains for the masses.

EVGA’s Geforce GTX 1080 Hybrid is the new announcement this week and features dual 8-pin PCI-E power connectors, each delivering 150W of power to the card. Due to the nature of its hybrid air cooling and closed-loop cooling design combined with dual BIOS chips and a 10 + 2 phase PWM, this is likely to be another impressive design win just like the GTX 980 Hybrid that came before it. The company also sells its Hybrid water cooler unit separately as an accessory for a few of its cards, and we can hope they will expand compatibility to include more SKUs in the near future.

Given that EVGA’s Hybrid models are usually priced above air-cooled parts but below Hydro Copper ones, we can expect a price above the Founders Edition when it launches shortly.

The EVGA Geforce GTX 1080 Classified is the company’s successor to the Geforce GTX 980 Classified (04G-P4-3988-KR), which was introduced in September 2014. The former card was the first Maxwell GPU to ship with a 1400+MHz Boost clock, and now the company is getting ready to release specs above the 1850+MHz Boost threshold, although it has yet to announce frequencies for its new top-tier Classified product.

As of now, the ASUS ROG Strix Geforce GTX 1080 claims the highest non-reference frequencies with a 1784MHz base clock and 1.94GHz Boost clock in OC Mode. Meanwhile, the MSI Geforce GTX 1080 Gaming X 8G ties with EVGA’s Geforce GTX 1080 SC for second place with a 1708MHz base clock and 1847MHz Turbo clock in OC Mode. EVGA will need to top ASUS if it wants to maintain the performance lead, and if this doesn't happen with the Classified then it will probably happen with a Kingpin edition around a few months from now.

The GTX 1080 Classified also features two 8-pin PCI-E power connectors each delivering 150W of power to the card, and now power cables can be connected to an add-on accessory called the EVGA Power Link. This is a very simple, L-shaped power bracket that safely routes PCI-Express power in a right-angle and gives system builders more flexibility in cable management at any given time.

Given that the GTX 1080 FTW is priced at $679, we can expect the Classified to be at least $699 if not higher when it becomes available shortly.

Geforce GTX 1080 SC ACX 3.0

EVGA also took some time to display its GTX 1080 SuperClocked ACX 3.0 card, featuring a redesigned cooling solution with increased heatpipe and copper contact area. The new design delivers up to 15 percent cooler memory, 13 percent cooler MOSFETs, 10 percent cooler heatpipes and a 13 percent quieter fin design compared to the previous ACX 2.0 cooler. The card runs at a 1708MHz base frequency with a 1847MHz Boost clock and will be priced at $649.99. For reference, Nvidia’s Geforce GTX 1080 Founders Edition frequencies are a 1607MHz base clock and 1733MHz Turbo clock.

EVGA will release one more GPU right above the GTX 1080 SC and right below the GTX 1080 Classified called the GTX 1080 FTW. This card will feature 10 + 2 phase power, dual BIOS chips, the ACX 3.0 cooler and a TDP of 215W. Just like its higher-clocked Classified counterpart, clockspeeds have yet to be announced, but it will be priced at $679.99 when it becomes available shortly.

EVGA has decided to showcase both its custom GTX 1080 as well as a few custom GTX 1070 graphics cards at Computex 2016 show, hinting that both lineups could be similar.

Spotted by Tweaktown.com, EVGA decided to bring the Geforce GTX 1070 SuperClocked to Computex 2016 show and this one features the same ACX 3.0 cooler as the GTX 1080 version. It will probably use the same PCB and it certainly uses the same ACX 3.0 cooler.

We suspect that the entire lineup of GTX 1070 graphics cards from EVGA could be similar to the GTX 1080 lineup, including SuperClocked, FTW and Classified graphics cards as well as future Hybrid and Hydro versions.

Unfortuantely, EVGA only lists the GTX 1070 Founders Edition so we have no idea on when these custom GTX 1070 graphics cards will be available.

Following Nvidia's official retail launch of the new Geforce GTX 1080, EVGA has prepared no less than five different graphics card, with more to come soon.

In addition to the standard GTX 1080 Founders Edition, which is completely stock and the GTX 1080 ACX 3.0, which is based on both reference PCB and reference clocks but features EVGA's new ACX 3.0 cooler, EVGA has also unveiled three factory-overclocked and custom graphics cards, the EVGA GTX 1080 SC Gaming ACX 3.0, GTX 1080 FTW Gaming ACX 3.0 and the GTX 1080 Classified Gaming ACX 3.0 graphics cards.

The biggest update in the lineup is the new EVGA ACX 3.0 cooler, which further upgrades the already impressive ACX 2.0 cooler by increased heatpipe and copper contact area with STraight Heat Pipe 3.0, which in terms made it 10 percent cooler as well as a new optimal tuned heatsink and fin design, which made it 13 percent quieter, compared to the ACX 2.0 cooler.

The new EVGA ACX 3.0 cooler still comes with memory/MOSFET cooling plate, dB Inverter and two Double Ball Bearing fans but now also comes with RGB LEDs placed in the shroud and fully controllable via EVGA's PrecisionX OC software, at least on some models. All Geforce GTX 1080 models come with a backplate.

In case you missed it before, the GTX 1080 Founders Edition works at 1,607MHz base and 1,733MHz GPU Boost clocks while 8GB of GDDR5X memory is clocked at 2,500MHz (10,000MHz effective). The EVGA GTX 1080 ACX 3.0 is the same and only replaces the stock blower fan with the new EVGA ACX 3.0 cooler. IT does not feature RGB LEDs but only white ones, same as the reference one.

The EVGA GTX 1080 SC (SuperClocked) Gaming ACX 3.0 is the next in line and it is pretty much an overclocked stock graphics card as it works at 1,708MHz GPU base and 1,847MHz GPU Boost clocks while memory remained at reference 10,000MHz. It does come with EVGA's ACX 3.0 cooler but does not feature RGB LEDs and still needs a single 8-pin PCIe power connector.

The EVGA GTX 1080 FTW (For The Win) Gaming ACX 3.0 graphics card is a completely different beast as it comes with a custom PCB with 10-phase VRM, adjustable RGB LEDs, and EVGA Double BIOS. It needs two 8-pin PCI-Express power connectors but, unfortunately, EVGA still did not finalize the clocks.

The EVGA GTX 1080 Classified is pretty much the same but it comes with a triple BIOS, beefier 14-phase VRM, which should provide further overclocking potential and make it one of the best GTX 1080 on the market, at least until EVGA makes the Kingpin Edition.

Unfortunately, only the EVGA Geforce GTX 1080 Founders Edition is currently available for US $699.99 on both EVGA's official site and some retail/e-tail shops but ACX 3.0 equipped cards should come soon as well.

According to a couple of leaks online, EVGA is currently working on a custom GTX 1080 which will be a part of its well known SuperClocked Edition.

According to a GPU-Z screenshot leaked on Chiphell.com and spotted by Videocardz.com, the EVGA GTX 1080 SC works at 1709MHz for the GPU base clock and 1848MHz for the GPU Boost clock. This is roughly a 100MHz factory-overclock compared to the reference 1607/1733MHz clocks.

A few weeks earlier, two pictures have appeared on various tech forums showing what appears to be the aforementioned EVGA GTX 1080 SC, with two 8-pin PCI-Express connectors. These alleged pictures show a rather weird LED logo so this might be just a mock-up for the final version.

On a similar note, EVGA has announced its official OC Utility for Geforce GTX 1080, the PrecisionX OC, which will also officially launch tomorrow.

In any case, EVGA will probably have more than one custom version for the GTX 1080 and these should all be announced tomorrow, May 27th. Hopefully, we will have a chance to see the FTW, Classified and Hydro Copper versions as well.

EVGA has already announced both the standard GTX Titan X as well as its factory-overclocked SuperClocked version and the liquing cooling ready Hydro Copper version, but we now have full details including the level of the factory overclock on both versions.

While the reference Nvidia GTX Titan X as well as EVGA's standard version, work at 1000MHz for the base GPU and 1075MHz for GPU Boost clock with 12GB of GDDR5 memory clocked at 7010MHz, the EVGA GTX Titan X will have a decent factory-overclock set at 1127MHz for GPU base clock and 1216MHz for GPU Boost clock, despite using the same reference Titan cooler. Unfortunately, EVGA decided to leave the memory at its reference 7010MHz but we are quite sure that there will be some overclocking headroom there as well.

We even managed to get precise details regarding the EVGA GTX Titan X Hydro Copper version. As you already know, this one will be based on the same design but come equipped with EK Water Blocks' custom full-cover water block. EVGA decided to push the GTX Titan X Hydro Copper even further so this one will ship with factory-overclock of 1152MHz for the GPU base and 1241MHz for the GPU Boost clock. Of course, with adequate liquid cooling system, these clocks will probably go even higher, but this is what you get out of the box. The memory on the EVGA GTX Titan X Hydro Copper version is also left at the reference clock of 7010MHz.

Unfortunately, EVGA still did not have any information regarding the availability, date but since most GTX Titan pre-orders will most likely be prioritized for standard GTX Titan X and should be available before the end of this month, we doubt that we will see any of these factory-overclocked graphics card before April.

Following Nvidia's official launch of the new GM200 Maxwell based GTX Titan X graphics card, EVGA has announced its own versions, including a standard reference clocked card, as well as SuperClocked and Hydro Copper versions.

While most partners will be focusing on Nvidia's reference design, mostly due to Nvidia's decision when it comes to Titan graphics cards and custom versions, EVGA apparently has no problems with those and has announced no less than three different GTX Titan X versions, standard, factory-overclock SuperClocked version and the Hydro Copper version with pre-installed full-cover water block.

In case you somehow missed it earlier last night, Nvidia's GTX Titan X is currently the fastest single-GPU graphics card on the market. It is based on Nvidia's 28nm GM200 Maxwell GPU and packs 3072 CUDA cores and 12GB of GDDR5 memory paired up with a 384-bit memory interface.

The EVGA standard GTX Titan X, which is already available, sticks to Nvidia reference 1000MHz for the GPU base, 1075MHz GPU Boost clock and 7010MHz for 12GB of GDDR5 memory. Unfortunately, EVGA still did not finalize the precise factory-overclock for SuperClocked and Hydro Copper version of the Titan X but according to our sources, those should be known pretty soon and probably before the end of this month so we will keep you updated.

The crown jewel is obviously the EVGA GTX Titan X Hydro Copper graphics card which will use the EK Water Block custom full-cover water block.

Following the official announcement of the new GM204 Maxwell based Geforce GTX 980 and the Geforce GTX 970 graphics cards, EVGA has unveiled a total of 15 different versions of these graphics cards, with old ACX or the new ACX 2.0 cooler and various clock settings.

With the launch of the new Geforce GTX 980 and GTX 970 graphics cards, EVGA decided to introduce the new version of its well known ACX cooler, the ACX 2.0. According to EVGA, most manufacturers only focus on one aspect when designing a new cooler, hence they neglect other aspects of fan and heatsink design , something that EVGA wanted to change with their new ACX 2.0 cooler.

According to EVGA, the power consumption of a fan can affect the overclocking ability of the entire graphics cards due to maximum power ceiling that also takes the fan power consumption into account, thus EVGA completely redesigned the motor to reduce noise, increased the fan blade count to create higher pressure, all without needing to increase the motor speed and noise levels, something that makes it the best complete cooling solution on the market.

The fans on the new ACX 2.0 cooler now features eleven fan blades and feature Swept Fan Design that should reduce fan noise levels while the motor has improved magnets that allow 150RPM increase, 3phase/6slot design that improves efficiency and increased silicon steel which give more strength to magnets. According to EVGA, all of this was enough to get up to 36 percent quieter graphics card with 26 lower GPU temperature as well as 250 percent lower fan power consumption and 400 percent longer lifespan.

As far as the EVGA GTX 980 and GTX 970 lineup is concerned, EVGA has announced a total of 15 different models, some with older ACX, some with the new ACX 2.0 cooler as well as the famous GTX 980 Hydro Copper version that comes with a full cover EK Water Blocks water block.

EVGA's lineup starts with a total of eight different Geforce GTX 980 graphics cards, including the reference designed GTX 980, clocked at 1126/1216MHz for base/Boost GPU clocks and 4GB of GDDR5 memory clocked at reference 7010MHz, as well as a Superclocked version of the reference GTX 980 working at 1241/1342MHz and 7010MHz for the memory.

Next in line are four EVGA GTX 980 graphics cards that will feature the new ACX 2.0 cooler, including the EVGA Geforce GTX 980 ACX 2.0, Superclocked ACX 2.0, FTW ACX 2.0 and the Geforce GTX 980 Classified ACX 2.0.

The clocks range from reference on the plain GTX 980 ACX 2.0 up to 1291/1405MHz for GPU base/Boost clocks on the EVGA GTX 980 Classified ACX 2.0 graphics card. EVGA has decided to leave the 4GB of GDDR5 memory, paired up with a 256-bit memory interface, on reference 7010MHz clock on all versions.

Unfortunately, the EVGA GTX 980 Hydro Copper is yet to be details and we are surely looking forward to see how far will EVGA be able to push that factory-overclock on the GTX 980.

The Geforce GTX 970 lineup is quite similar and starts with three rather plain Geforce GTX 970 graphics cards, the EVGA GTX 970 with older EVGA blower style fan and reference 1050MHz base and 1178MHz GPU Boost clocks and the EVGA GTX 970 Superclocked with the same fan but higher 1140/1279MHz GPU clocks. It continues with the EVGA GTX 970 ACX, which has reference clocks and older ACX cooler, the EVGA GTX 970 Superclocked ACX, with old ACX cooler and 1165/1317MHz GPU clocks as well as the non-overclocked EVGA GTX 970 ACX 2.0 with the new ACX cooler.

The Superclocked version works at the same 1165/1317MHz GPU base and Boost clocks, the SSC ACX 2.0 works at 1190/1342MHz for GPU base and GPU Boost clocks, while the EVGA GTX 970 FTW ACX 2.0 works at 1216MHz base and 1367MHz GPU Boost clocks.

Some versions of the EVGA GTX 980 and GTX 970 graphics cards, including Classified, FTW and SSC versions, come with certain extra features like the Triple or Double BIOS and 1.215v+ voltage boost (on GTX 970). Some of these GTX 980 and GTX 970 graphics cards should be already available directly from EVGA while other, should be available in a couple of weeks.

EVGA will also offer a free five warranty for the Geforce GTX 980 and GTX 970 graphics cards as well as a limited deal of free backplate with select Geforce GTX 970 graphics cards purchased before October 20th.

You can check out EVGA's full Geforce GTX 980 and GTX 970 lineup over at EVGA's website.

Following Nvidia's rather quiet launch of the GT 740, which is understandable considering that it is a rebrand of the GT 640, EVGA has unveiled its full lineup which includes no less than nine different versions of the GT 740.

While some partners stuck with Nvidia's reference design, EVGA's entire GT 740 lineup is factory overclocked and is splitted in two main classes, GT 740 with GDDR5 and GT 740 with GDDR3 memory. The lineup only includes EVGA SuperClocked and FTW Edition graphics cards which will be available with 1, 2 or 4GB of GDDR5 or 2 or 4GB of GDDR3 memory.

The GT 740 is still based on the well known Nvidia 28nm GK107 Kepler GPU with 384 CUDA cores, 32 TMUs and 16 ROPs and comes with either 1, 2GB or even 4GB of GDDR5/DDR3 memory paired up with a 128-bit memory interface.

The EVGA GT 740 GDDR3 lineup comes with either a single slot or dual slot cooler and will only be available with the SuperClock badge. Both the single- and dual-slot EVGA GT 740 SuperClocked GDDR3 graphics cards pretty much share the same specifications and work at 1059MHz base closk and will be available with 2GB or 4GB of GDDR3 memory clocked at 1334MHz on the single-slot and 1782MHz on the dual-slot version.

The EVGA GT 740 GDDR5 lineup is a bit more tricky as the specs are a bit different here. It includes both SuperClocked as well as FTW edition versions and comes with 1, 2 or 4GB of GDDR5 memory. The list starts with EVGA GT 740 FTW versions which will be available with 1 or 2GB of GDDR5 memory. Both versions are pretty much the same and work at 1202MHz for the GPU while 1 or 2GB of GDDR5 memory ended up clocked at 5000MHz.

The entire GT 740 GDDR5 SuperClocked lineup will work at 1085MHz for the GPU while 1, 2 or 4GB of GDDR5 memory will also be clocked at 5000MHz.

The entire lineup is already available at EVGA's webshop and we guess it should be available in all major retail/e-tail shops as well. The lineup starts at US $89.99 for EVGA GT 740 SuperClocked 1GB GDDR5 and EVGA GT 740 SuperClocked 2GB GDDR3 versions and climbs up to US $119.99 for the EVGA GT 740 SuperClocked 4GB GDDR5 version.

Nvidia has finally and officially launched its dual-GPU GTX Titan Z graphics cards and, as one of Nvidia's most dedicated partners, EVGA has announced no less than three different versions of the GTX Titan Z, including reference, SuperClocked (SC) and the water cooled Hydro Copper version.

Two GK110 GPUs and a massive cooler

The US $2999.99 priced, as currently listed at EVGA's own webshop, dual-GPU GTX Titan Z graphics cards might not be for everyone but will surely have appeal to a nich user base. It features a total of 5760 CUDA cores, 12GB of 7000MHz GDDR5 memory paired up with a dual 384-bit memory interface for 672GB/s of memory bandwidth and works at 705MHz base and 876MHz GPU Boost clocks.

In order to cool down both GK110 GPUs as well as the memory and the VRM part of the new GTX Titan Z graphics card, Nvidia decided to go for a triple-slot cooler with massive heatsink and center placed fan as well as a full cover backplate. Lower clocks of GK110 GPUs allowed Nvidia to keep the TDP down, so the GTX Titan Z needs two 8-pin PCI-Express power connectors.

Three versions from EVGA

As noted, EVGA prepared three different versions of the GTX Titan Z and although it usually is not the case, EVGA has now even announced the clocks for its GTX Titan Z SuperClocked which will work at 723MHz base and 915MHz GPU Boost clocks while memory remained at reference 7000MHz.

On the other hand, the EVGA GTX Titan Z Hydro Copper is a whole different story as this time around EVGA has included the next generation Hydro Copper water block, which is made of nickel plated electrolytic copper and features a full cover design which means it will cool the GPUs, memory and the VRM part of the GTX Titan Z Hydro Copper. It will feature 1/4" threaded fittings on each side of the terminal.

The cooling is not the only thing different on the EVGA GTX Titan Z Hydro Copper as this one pushes the GPU clocks a notch higher to 758MHz for base and 941MHz for the GPU Boost.

Availability and pricing

All three versions of the EVGA GTX Titan Z are currently not available and only listed on EVGA's own webshop. As noted earlier, EVGA lists the reference version for US $2999.99 while the SuperClocked version is listed at US $3199. The top offer, EVGA GTX Titan Z Hydro Copper is listed at US $3349.

There is no information on when we can expect them to be available and, as we wrote before, these cards will not sell in volume but they surely have a niche market.

As was the case with some of previous Nvidia graphics cards, EVGA has now launched a total of four GTX 750 Ti and four GTX 750 graphics cards based on Nvidia's new Maxwell GPU.

In case you missed it earlier, both the GTX 750 Ti and the GTX 750 are based on Nvidia's new GM107 Maxwell GPU and packs 640 CUDA cores and 2GB of GDDR5 memory for the GTX 750 Ti and 512 CUDA cores and 1GB of GDDR5 memory for the GTX 750, and will feature same 128-bit memory interface as well as the same reference 1020MHz base and 1085MHz GPU Boost clocks.

EVGA's GTX 750 Ti lineup includes the standard GTX 750 Ti, GTX 750 Ti SuperClocked, GTX 750 Ti with ACX cooler and the GTX 750 Ti FTW with ACX cooler and the same thing goes for the GTX 750 as well. While the standard GTX 750 Ti works at 1020MHz base and 1085MHz GPU Boost clocks and comes with 2GB of GDDR5 memory clocked at 5400MHz, the GTX 750 Ti FTW with ACX cooler will have "slightly" higher 1189MHz GPU base, 1268MHz GPU Boost clocks while the 2GB of GDDR5 memory will remain at reference 5400MHz. The EVGA GTX 750 Ti Superclocked works at 1176MHz base and 1255MHz GPU Boost clocks while the standard GTX 750 Ti with ACX cooler works at 1059MHz base and 1137MHz GPU boost clocks.

The standard EVGA GTX 750 works at reference clocks which is the same as on the EVGA GTX 750 with ACX cooler, 1020/1085MHz for the GPU and 5012MHz for the 1GB of GDDR5 memory. The GTX 750 Superclocked will work at 1215MHz for the base and 1294MHz for the GPU Boost clock while the GTX 750 FTW with ACX cooler will end up at 1229MHz base and 1320MHz GPU Boost clocks.

All eight new graphics cards are currently listed as coming soon so we will have to wait a bit longer for the official pricing. You can check out the full lineup here.
